Hello everyone
I am a South African student, doing a study of the EAD design and am new to
this forum. As I have a minimal technical infrastructure, some of my
conclusions cannot be tested and I need some advice.
If one has an open record group which has already been encoded into an EAD
document, can one create a new document for further material, and then merge
the two (or more) programmatically? Is this only done for an output e.g.
finding aid, or can and should a merged EAD document be created? Is it
preferable to add the material onto the existing document? What if there are
two different creators (agencies)?
Thank you
Deborah
